Kevin Hart clashes with Charlamagne, defends Hinchcliffe's George Floyd joke during his roast

Comedian Kevin Hart defended fellow funnyman Tony Hinchcliffe’s comedy routine from his roast on Tuesday’s episode of "The Breakfast Club," saying it might have been the best of the whole night.

The recent roast of Hart made waves for its no-holds-barred jokes that outraged people across the political spectrum, including jokes about the deaths of Charlie Kirk and George Floyd. Netflix's recent roast specials have been infamous for jokes about panelists' divorces, dead relatives and numerous other taboo topics.

During the night, Hinchcliffe made headlines by appearing to imply Floyd was watching the show from Hell, saying. "The Black community is so proud of you right now. George Floyd is looking up at us all, laughing so hard he can’t breathe."

Hart spoke candidly about the controversial and wildly popular roast to Charlamagne and the other hosts of "The Breakfast Club," saying, "Yeah, the George Floyd joke, it wasn't a tasteful joke to our culture, to our audience," Hart said. "But our audience that's watching the roast, if you're watching the roast, you get why they're doing it. You get why the racial humor is on the table."
